KRIS-DT isn't really broadcasting on VHF channel 6 any longer. They may call themselves channel 6, but that's only because American tv stations got away from using their call letters for identification, and used their channel numbers a few decades back.

When the changeover to digital happened, the lower VHF channels were abandoned (sigh, that's where all the good DXing was happening) and stations moved to either UHF or upper VHF. TV Fool lists actual channels used for broadcast; KRIS is now broadcasting on channel 13.

Really, you shouldn't “sigh” — because with all of the US stations gone from channels 2 thru 6, it's now a common occurrence every June, July and December for US DXer’s to receive lo-band stations via sporadic E-skip from Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Central America and even Venezuela.

Moreover, when the sunspot numbers peak in a few years, the F2 layer may allow Brazil, Africa and even Australia to show up!
